F.W.U.A. COOK BOOK 29

Cookie sheets should be small enough to allow at least one inch on either
side of the sheet and at the back for heat to circulate. Otherwise, your
cookies will burn on the bottom.

To save fuel, cook your whole meal in the oven. Choose foods that
require the same temperature and approximately the same time. For
example, try meat loaf, scalloped potatoes, diced buttered beets, apple
brown betty. You can then cook a whole meal by pre-heating only the
oven.

When using the broiler in your electric oven, leave your oven door open

- slightly. Broiling is done by direct heat from the top element. The only

way you can control this heat is by the distance between your food and
the element. For foods which broil very quickly, such as toast, or bacon,
place as near to the element as possible. For foods which require longer
broiling, such as chicken or lamb chops, place lower in the oven.

To avoid messy oven-cleaning, do your cleaning as soon as you are
through with your baking or broiling. While your oven is still warm,
place in it a bowl of powdered ammonia dissolved in water. This will
— he grease and enable you to simply wipe out the oven with a damp
cloth.

For major cleaning jobs, there are several good oven cleaners on
the market. Keep these away from children and do not let them come
in contact with your skin or your clothing.

Modern appliances are only as efficient as you make them. Enjoy
the freedom you receive from a good range, efficiently used.
